About Jill Wolcott & Jill Wolcott Knits

As Jill Wolcott & Jill Wolcott Knits my passions are knitting, fashion, fit (inclusive), and guiding people where they want to go — or figuring out where that is. Also my funny spouse, traveling, music, and food.

Enjoy the content on my website and take away what you need. My hope is that you will become the knitter you want to be, at a pace that works for you. Here’s a quick links list.

tl;dr — approximately reading time is 3 minutes

I tried to make this interesting. There are additional links under the About tab if you want to know more! Video from Instagram if you want to watch.

Working with Others

Knitters and designers are of particular interest to me. I love to solve problems and help others move forward. Consider signing up for a one-on-one with me!

  • Issue Resolution I love problem solving. Bring me an issue and I’ll help you sort through it.
  • Unstick Your Knitting OMG. We all get there. I have tools, plus tons of wisdom.
  • Free Your Project Let me help you as a designer get through a sticky problem that has you stalled.

Jill Wolcott Knits Pattern Tailor

Jill Wolcott Knits has a new product line called the Pattern Tailor. You can learn more here. Initially begun as a way to offer my designs in any size.any gauge format, the amount of time it takes to create that for a particular design does not balance with the number of knitters it will reach.

I have pivoted to offering Fit Tools, which connects nicely with my extensive work and expertise in sizing and fit, based on my training in flat pattern maker, garment construction, and fashion design.

JillWolcottKnits.com & Online

My blog posts are mostly about what I’m thinking about, which may not be what you are thinking about, but I think they always contain useful concepts and guidance.

The Inside Scoop, my newsletter, goes out on a regular, irregular schedule.  I try to make subscribers the first to know things going on here at world headquarters.

This website has an extensive Techniques catalog, which I am always adding to and improving.  It is somewhere over 200 techniques.  If you can’t find something, email me!  

I am a creative spirit, and tend to follow my passions without giving sufficient thought to whether or not they are of interest to others or if will make me any money.

Fridays at 4:15 pm PDT/PST I often show up on IG Live to Ramble.  I do lots of workshops and have content available h

ere.  On the last Wednesday of the month at noon PDT/PST The Fit Clinic is happening.Other Wednesdays I do Pattern Tailor tutoring.

Listen to this Podcast to learn about my Art Buttons. I love talking about my passions.
